Snugars is the Capper to Homespun Hats and More

A sister brand to Gracious May, Snugars brings handmade accessories, including hats, headbands, leg warmers and more to girls and boys that are all made in the U.S.A. to order. In 2008 the first Snugar was stitched at home and within a year the demand grew to a point that Snugars had to make some important business decisions. They realized that in addition to the swirly blossoms and irresistible details of the hats, the unique character of each piece was dependent upon being handmade. It was then decided these works of art must continue to be handmade in the U.S.A.

Like the cherry on a sundae or the icing on a cake, the Snugars vintage-inspired hats make little girls look even sweeter. Soft, stretchy and comfortable in sizes newborn to age 10, they are perfect for photo shoots and special occasions, with fluted brims, fluffy ruffles, and spunky flowers.

Cupcake leg warmers add the perfect bit of color to brighten up fall and winter wardrobes. These soft, stretch knit leg warmers are in a neutral grey with a cluster of pink, yellow and blue “sprinkles.”

Snugars also offers hats for boys that are full of personality. Their aviator hat has great appeal for little boys who long to be pilots. The soft, stretchy brown beanie has shiny gold hand-stitched goggles and reflective trim available in sizes from infant to age 10. Other styles of hats include Robin Hood, Camo, and Ski. Cute animal designs are also available to accessorize for photo shoots, dress-up play or cool fall days.

Bushka Offers Diaper Bags, Clutches and Blankies

Bushka is another sister brand to Gracious May. Bushka diaper bags were created to have the look of a designer handbag as well as being practical for carrying baby’s essentials. The Bushka Central Park diaper bag features 100% designer cotton prints, 100% chenille changing pad, hidden zippered pockets and quality brass and nickel hardware. This diaper bag opens to reveal a plush changing area with see through pockets on both sides. The Central Park bag is available in Rosey Posie or Lindy Leaf patterns.

The Bicycle Bushka features a waterproof laminate material and opens to reveal the same great changing pad with pockets on both sides. This diaper bag is also available in Vintage Gardens print.
